📉 Global markets wobble amid geopolitical tensions

As of today (April 20, 2026), global markets are showing renewed volatility:

📊 U.S. stock futures are down (Dow futures ≈ -350 points)
🛢️ Oil prices jumped ~6% (approaching $90/barrel)
🪙 Bitcoin fell toward ~$74,000

👉 The main driver: escalating tensions involving the U.S. and Iran, raising concerns about disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—a key global oil route.
